The Eliminate Project is Kiwanis International’s global campaign to help eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus from the face of the Earth. The campaign will raise US $110 million for the project. We are partnering with UNICEF in a global effort to eliminate MNT, a deadly but highly preventable disease that kills mothers and newborns in the world’s poorest regions.

The time to help is NOW!

A single pledge or multi-year gift by an individual or club is all it takes to save lives! For an even greater impact, an individual or club can commit to the following campaign options:

Walter Zeller Fellowship

When you give US $1,250 to the Eliminate Project, you can become a Walter Zeller Fellow – and save or protect more than 690 women and their future babies.

Model Club

As a Model Club, your club pledges to raise an annual per-member average of US $150 or more each year for five years – through any combination of fundraising methods. That comes to an average of US $13 per month, per member, over those five years. Your club’s five-year commitment begins the day you submit your commitment form.

Join us as we work together to achieve our goal of colleting our pledges and finishing raising US $110 million and eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus. You can make a difference in saving the lives of mothers and babies!
